Encyclopedia Britannica



DERELICT (from Lat. derelinquere, to forsake)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 73 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DERELICT (from Lat. derelinquere, to forsake) , in law,
property
  thrown away or abandoned by the owner in such a manner as to indicate that he intends to make no further claim to
DERHAM
  73
it. The word is used more particularly with respect to
property
  abandoned at sea (see
WRECK
 ), but it is also applied in other senses; for example,
land
  gained from the sea by receding of the
water
  is termed dereliction.
Land
  gained gradually and slowly by dereliction belongs to the owner of the adjoining land, but in the
case
  of sudden or considerable dereliction the land belongs to the Crown. This technical use of the
term
  " dereliction " is to be distinguished from the more general
modern
  sense, dereliction or abandonment of duty, which implies a culpable failure or neglect in moral or legal
obligation
 .
